DEWA Launches “Away Mode” to Optimise Smart Home Energy & Water Use
Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has introduced the “Away Mode” feature as part of its Expand Your Smart Choices This Summer campaign, empowering customers to monitor electricity and water consumption remotely. This digital tool is designed to help smart home users reduce waste, stay informed, and optimise resource usage even when away from home.
What DEWA’s “Away Mode” Offers
- Accessible via the DEWA Smart App or website, “Away Mode” allows users to specify activation periods and receive updates on their consumption via email—daily or weekly.
- It helps customers detect unusual usage while away, enabling timely intervention to curb unnecessary energy and water use.
mart Living Features That Support Efficiency
The “Away Mode” complements DEWA’s broader Smart Living initiative, which includes:
- A user-friendly dashboard for monitoring energy and water usage over different timeframes.
- A Consumption Assessment Tool for tailored efficiency tips.
- High Water Usage Alerts for early leak detection.
Impact for Smart Home Practitioners
For KNX integrators, developers, and smart home enthusiasts in Dubai, this feature provides a smart layer of automation and control—enhancing utility efficiency and reinforcing brand trust within the smart home ecosystem.
